Instead of the correct "I backed up my data" I have seen many examples of "I backuped (or backupped) my data", and Germanifications such as "gebackupt"/"gebackupped" where "upgebackt"/ "upgebacked" would be more correct. Still, I know what they mean :-) -- You can't look at a glass as half full or half empty if it's overflowing.
